DMAPA is an acronym for dimethylaminopropylamine. Dimethylaminopropylamines contain one primary and one tertiary amine group. If DMAPA is heated with a fatty acid, for example, fatty acid amides with a tertiary amine group are formed. Such amides are starting products for detergents and foaming agents.
Copolymers are polymers which are composed of 2 different monomer units.
